lyrics

Oh, you don’t know about stars or worlds,
But the spirit of a girl, a ghost, can be made to rise up too.
Oh, we are all subject to consequence,
Or a drunken lack of sense, a sense of what is commanding you.

How can God expect you to be whole again,
When you were broken from the start?
Were you a martyr or a part?
I don’t know.

Oh, the ache of modernism comes to rot,
The little pleasures that you’ve got,
Pastoral fields, a bastard yet sown again.
I know, a sense of faith can so easily mar,
Though it can also take you far,
A crashing of the Earth, the breaking of a wave’s end.

How can God expect you to be whole again,
When you were broken just for fun?

Tess, I long for your embrace though tattered.
Shores of South America call again.

And he turned to me an asked,
“Are all the stars worlds like ours?”
“I don’t know,” I replied, “But I think so.
Just like the stubbard-tree some are splendid and sound, and a few are blighted.”
“Do we live on a blighted on or a splendid one,” he asked.
“Blighted.” I replied, “And tis very unlucky.”

A dank and foggy July morn encompassed their knole.
Two halos encrusted over our heads in the image of you, Tess.
We look to the West and we can see a flag through the window.
The Aeschylean phrase, the smirking of God alone.

Tess, I long for your embrace though tattered.
Shores of South America call again.
Light, lost as Milton’s paradise is shattered.
An image is the only thing we can’t mend.
